Is the printed book dead? The Sony Reader may just herald the beginning of a new age in how we read the latest novel. The updated version allows direct downloads of E-books from Sony Connect, and is lightweight and has a large screen, making it much easier to use comfortably. As publishing shifts more towards E-book technology, the Sony Reader could give you a library in your pocket wherever you go.

Apple MacBook

The MacBook has revolutionised laptops. Light, portable and very easy to use, the MacBook has rapidly taken the lead as the laptop of choice for gadget fans. Although light, its robust, aluminium shell protects the MacBook far more than the average plastic shell on most laptops. It has 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of memory, 250GB hard drive, and an NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor. As well as a Multi-Touch trackpad, it also has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.1 and a five-hour battery life – everything a gadget lover could wish for. And it looks good!

It also displays the individual charging status of each battery.

If your gadget fan opens a present on Christmas morning that requires batteries, a rechargeable battery charger is a gift that will be appreciated!
